2015 Ford F150

Dec. 16, 2016

The 2015 Ford F-150 – the reinvention of North America’s favourite pickup – won early praise for setting the standard for the future of tough, thanks to the all-new vehicle’s impressive combination of power, capability and efficiency.

The 2015 F-150 is the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever. Regardless of model configuration or engine choice, every truck customer benefits from up to 700 pounds of weight savings the new truck delivers. The all-new F-150 can tow up to 1,100 more pounds, haul up to 530 more pounds and is projected to have fuel economy ratings in the range of at least 5 percent and as much as 20 percent better gas mileage than today’s truck, depending on the model.

Punishing testing proves toughest F-150 ever

The new truck’s improved performance is enabled by reducing up to 700 pounds of weight through the use of high-strength steel in the frame and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy in the body.

Before the new F-150 went on sale, it was torture-tested for more than 10 million miles in a range of temperatures and terrain – in labs, at Ford proving grounds, in the hands of some of the most demanding truck customers and even in the gruelling Baja 1000 off-road race.

New technologies mean smartest F-150 ever

Several groundbreaking features debut in the all-new F-150, including 11 available class-exclusives:

360-degree camera view uses exterior cameras to create a bird’s-eye view of the truck to help drivers park, manoeuvre in tight spots, and navigate narrow roads and trails

BoxLink combines metal brackets and custom cleats to secure a variety of accessories in the cargo box – from ramps to storage bins to bed dividers

LED headlamps; LED tail lamps provide excellent night-time visibility

Trailer hitch assist adds a new rear-view camera feature that incorporates a dynamic line based on steering wheel angle in the display to help customers line up their truck and trailer with no spotter or need to exit the vehicle

Remote tailgate allows for tailgate to be locked, unlocked and released with the key fob

Four engine choices ensure most capable F-150 ever

The all-new F-150 line-up includes four engine options for more power, and to meet most any customer need:

7-liter EcoBoost®V6 with standard Auto Start-Stop: New engine design produces 325 horsepower and 375 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost 4x2 has a maximum payload rating of 2,250 pounds and maximum tow rating of 8,500 pounds – ideal for meeting mid-range capability requirements and the needs of more than 90 percent of light-duty truck customers

5-liter EcoBoost: This twin-turbo EcoBoost engine delivers V8-like 420 lb.-ft. of torque and 365 horsepower to enable towing of up to 12,200 pounds – more than enough to handle a fully loaded, three-horse trailer or large boat. It has earned an industry-leading maximum payload rating of 3,180 pounds

0-liter V8 with twin independent variable camshaft timing: Improved power and efficiency, delivering 385 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque. Smart engineering enhancements such as a new long-runner intake manifold, revised intake cam duration and new pulse-separated exhaust manifolds help raise towing capability by 1,100 pounds to a maximum 11,100 pounds, and payload to 3,300 pounds
